NINETEENTH CENTURY SENSE. The
Paradox Of Spiriiualism. By JoHN DARBY,
Philadelphia J. b. Lippincott Company.
u. Publishers.
A long and learned treatise, with incli-
nations toward belief in spiritualism, OF
admissions Of its possibility, and even prob.
ability, as illustrated by certain super
natural manifestations In the Bible.
There is much OF interest and OF deer
thought in the volume. The reader will
often stop to reflect.
AS exhibiting the style OF the author
short, vigorous sentences-and conveying
our own impression, the following para
| graphs are extracted:
Liberation now accomplished. A heavy
load gotten clear Of. A chain broken. Al
immortal come to wings. An immorta
celestial environment; to voice thoroughbred
by wlndplpe; to lightness which floats with
clouds.
"New position to be occupied new
duties to be assumed. Position aud duties
In accord with Law which is ono with
Providence. Fitness for fresh life, adapta
bility to altered purposes. Ap Ego tina,
has won for itself other planes and tina,
goes higher.
"An Ego which is what 1t was, is, and
will be. An Ego that has left fitting work
for work still more fitting. An Ego thai
has worn; out body and that passes int
other body. An Ego that looks out OF the
intangible; itself seeing, itself unseen.
"Let windows be thrown widely open
Let flowers be scattered. Let music appea

steps which accompany the corpse tread Il
the measure OF a dance song.
"GreetiDgs not farewell, departed one
Departed, yet present. Gone into tn,
eternity, staying in time"
